[Samba] Windows 7 Beta and Samba PDC

Hi all,

I've been playing around with the Windows 7 Beta to see if it's viable 
for our company and I've been testing it with samba. I've been able to 
browse shares via \\server\sharename without a problem but I'm unable to 
get it to connect to the samba pdc (which currently works fine with XP / 
Vista).

The error is "The following error occurred attempting to join the domain 
"MICROFORTE": The specified domain either does not exist or could not be 
contacted".

I'm unsure how to interpret samba logs, if this little section doesn't 
help I've uploaded a larger section here: http://pastebin.ca/1312207

The Vista fix of changing the 'Network Security: LAN Manager 
authentication level' policy to 'LM and NTLM - use NTLMv2 session 
security if negotiated' hasn't helped at all.

I'm running samba 3.2.5-3 on Debian.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Cheers,

Nick.
